Chapter 1020 Lovely old man

Between the four of them, a fat rabbit suddenly jumped out of a long grass. Feng Yi's eyes were sharp and his hands were fast. A rocket shot over without thinking, knocking the fat rabbit to fly. However, the fat rabbit was knocked away, flipped a few times in the air, fell to the ground, and jumped up again and rushed forward. This move made everyone stunned.

When did Feng Yi's magic attack become so weak that he didn't even kill a hare. However, the rabbit was still injured after all. After only a few more steps, he fell into the grass and struggled to get up.

"Can this rabbit become a spirit?" Feng Yi looked at her hand strangely and looked at it. However, Dugu Chi ran over a few steps and grabbed the rabbit's ears and lifted it up.

No problem, it is a normal hare, who has never become a spirit or a monster, but this hare has a strong body, even if it is stronger than the monsters transformed in the spiritual world.

Ordinary wild creatures are so powerful, which makes everyone be careful.

"We can have a tooth sacrifice." Putting aside the worry in my heart, Duguchi held the fat rabbit and shook it at the three girls with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I haven't tried my brother's skills for a long time." Ling'er clapped her hands first.

Although the place where they landed was not far from the exit of the mountain, the four of them walked straight for three days before they could walk out of the canyon. Outside the mountain was a plain, and at the foot of the mountain was a village. It looked like a small village with only a hundred households. Looking at the buildings in the village, there were no exceptions, all the buildings were grass and soil walls. It was supposed to be an ordinary farmer's village. With someone, you could find out the news.

The clear stream surrounds each other, green willows and red peaches, but it looks like a paradise. When we arrived at the village entrance, Duguchi and others saw several elderly people sitting around a stone millet and chatting around the house. Seeing these people’s clothes and short clothes, they were also dressed by the family.

The group of people had already discovered Duguchi and others who were walking outside the village early on, and their expressions were quite curious. One of the oldest old men watched the four people coming from afar, stood up from the stone millstone, knocked away the remaining fire from the cigarette pillow on the edge of the millstone, rolled the cigarette bag and the rope on the cigarette pillow rod, inserted it to the waist, and walked towards him.

Seeing the old man's actions, everyone else looked at each other, stood up, surrounded Duguchi and others behind him.

"The father-in-law is polite." When he walked closer, Duguchi smiled and bowed to the old man, and then clasped his fists to other villagers around him.

"I dare not, I dare not, but I killed me. I wonder where the young ladies came from, how could they come to our Qingxi Village?" Dugu Chi's gift made the old man panic, and quickly waved his hand, instead bowed to Dugu Chi, and then asked with a smile.

"Why are your father-in-law so polite?" Dugu Chi was stunned when he saw the old man's actions. At the age of the old man, he did not bow to the younger guests like this. When he looked at the other people standing next to him, his expression was quite restrained. He couldn't help but feel very strange.

"Oh. Look at all the young ladies, dressed in gorgeous clothes and extraordinary appearance, they must be from a noble family. The young and old man is a villain, so it is necessary to give such a tribute." The old man is also a mature man. Looking at Dugu Chi's expression, he understood what he was confused about, so he explained with a smile.

There is a difference between people in the world. The so-called etiquette is not inferior to common people. Generally speaking, people from this aristocratic family meet the common people, and the latter wants to salute the former, regardless of age. When Duguchi met, he saluted him, and the old man had some guesses in his heart that these children were probably the noble children raised in the mansion. I think they rarely go out, otherwise they would not salute the common people.

"You are polite, my father-in-law, I am not a nobleman, but I can't regard you as such a polite person." Dugu Chi understood the truth and quickly waved his hand with a smile. However, the old man was willing to believe his explanation.

You should know that the village where the old man is located belongs to a principality called Hongxin Kingdom. The Hongxin Kingdom has extremely strict racial ranks. For example, the gorgeous clothes worn by Duguchi and others are only qualified to wear. The people next to him are the wealthy businessmen with huge wealth. If they do not have titles, they are not allowed to wear them.

After hearing the old man's explanation, Duguchi finally understood why they thought they were nobles. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said to the old man: "Senior, I'm wrong. We are not from Hongxin people, but from other places. When we were teleporting through the space channel, we didn't expect that the space channel would have a malfunction and fell down in the middle."

"Empty, space channel? What is that?" There was an old man with gray beard in the crowd next to him. After hearing Duguchi's words, he was confused for a moment and couldn't help but look at the old man who was leading the way.

"Ah, ah, space passage. When I went to the county town two years ago, I met a traveler's doctor. I heard of this kind of space passage from him. I heard that only the city gates above the provincial government are available. They are mostly managed by the government office, so that people can transmit from one place to a very distant place in a very short time." The old man was the head of Qingxi Village. He is the most knowledgeable person in this village. He goes to the county town once every spring and autumn. It is said that he had been to the provincial capital when he was young.

"Then how far can this be teleported? Is it possible to teleport for a hundred miles?" another person in the crowd asked curiously.

"Baili? I guess, it can teleport at least two or three hundred miles. Oh, my mother, it can appear two or three hundred miles away in a short time. Thinking about it, this thing is so amazing." Someone retorted. Their words almost made them laugh out loud when they heard Ling'er and his girls' ears.

The patriarch seemed to feel that his villagers were so unsavvy, and he couldn't help but turn around and glar at the talking guys, then turn around and smile at Duguchi and bow to him, "Please, please speak at home." After that, he turned around and led the four people to the largest courtyard in the middle of the village.

Although it is the largest courtyard in the village, it is not very big, with the same thatched hut mud wall, but the difference is that there is an extra courtyard wall outside than other houses. In addition to the hall opposite the door, there are three wing rooms in the courtyard. The clan leader brought Dugu Chi and the other two into his own hall and room, drove them out of the door, drove them away and drove them away the villagers who were watching the fun. Then he turned back and picked up a teapot with a broken mouth to pour a bowl of tea for the four of them.

Looking at the black tea used to serve him as a teacup in front of him, the four of them had a somewhat intuitive impression of the hard life of the farmers in this village.

"The village is simple and we are slow to wait." The clan leader felt embarrassed when he saw the four of them looking at the black tea in the bowl, and he said in a very ashamed manner.

"You are polite, my father-in-law." Dugu Chi smiled, picked up the bowl, and drank half of the tea in the bowl in one gulp. Seeing this, Ling'er and others smiled at each other, each holding the bowl and drinking a few sips. Seeing that the few people didn't even dislike their simple tea, the old man showed a hint of relief on his face.

The old man's surname is Zhang. There is no other surname in Qingxi Village except Zhang. As he continued to talk with the old man, Duguchi finally found some information. However, because the village is relatively closed, and there are few people in this village who travel far, the most widely experienced patriarch has only been to the provincial capital once, so it is impossible to get too much useful information from him.

However, what I heard from this old man is that Duguchi and the other two have no longer had a blank understanding of the world.

Let’s talk about the Hongxin Kingdom first. Since it is a principality, it is not the largest country. It belongs to a foreign country under the jurisdiction of the Tang Empire and has its own relatively independent territory, administration and army. The Hongxin Daquan administrative system is a system of inheritance. All nobles at all levels have their own land and their own armed forces, and also have their own independent tax rights and judicial powers for the people under their jurisdiction.

The Grand Duke of Li Fan, who was Hongxin's Duke of the Duchy of Hongxin, actually said that he was the supreme ruler elected by the nobles. The principality and the nobles determined their respective powers and obligations in the form of a joint contract.

"This is still a relatively primitive form of rule." After hearing the old man's narration, Dugu Chi and others couldn't help but secretly say in their hearts.

This principality has four provinces, and two of these four provinces are controlled by the Grand Duke Li Fan, and the other two are controlled by the two nobles with relatively inferior strength. The province where Qingxi Village is located happens to be one of the two provinces under the Grand Duke Li Fan, and the nobles under its jurisdiction are mostly Li Fan's staunch supporters.

Regarding practitioners, there are naturally some in this priest, otherwise it would be impossible to establish a teleportation array in the provincial capital. However, this priest may be too small in this world, and there are no monks and sects in its priest.

Of course, this news may not be true. The Chief Zhang knew only about the affairs of his province, let alone about the entire principality. However, the Chief knew that there was a magician in this principality, the most powerful person in the principality's court, besides Li Fan.

Regarding the legend of this magician, the patriarch Zhang knew a lot about what was the killing of the demon dragon, and what was the prayer for the sky and the rain. He always knew that such a person was a great master like a god in the eyes of these little grass people.
